My walk home covered in sweat Thighs chafing I pulled this four rowed pedal flower up roots and all. Passing one decayed raccoon swarmed by flies On my sprained ankle I come bearing a gift which will wilt in the moment of hours For you My beloved.

The juxtaposition of love and beauty
Stone and brick Iridescent is the curvature plastic cup With a last sip of water Follow by a well tempered clavier          Followed by an inhale of Menthol.         Only a few sprigs protrude from The concrete beneath my feet

The last sip
The warm sweat which cascades down our palms clasped, like the glacier waters passing through evergreens. "Do not worry" You say to me As if The contrast is not too much to handle As if the sublimity does not cause fear

Setting: single person standing shower Production notes: male actor, sitting lotus under the shower faucet         Title: purgatory or paradise A divine comedy of the mosaic variety The rain (tiled blue and gold) -the trails of     Man. - (note hedonism “maybe the notion of frog metamorphosizing”) To be green and croaking Scene change A corpse is rising Alone. Unloved drinking red (an Italian restaurant) Sicily.    -(note the mirror)

Autumn leaves fall Seven meters per second This is how we pray Why pray that they stay Suspended in air The ground miles beyond perception. And this is how we sin Already three feet in Stagnant pool water Chlorinated. Drowning In a motel lot.

Prayer looks a lot like sin
Five days fasted A starvation artist in the making No sugar, or coke, or baking Ima starvation artist in the making! On the sixth day you are breaking One twelve once mocha latte Three sips in and you spill it on the floor Wondering What's it all for.

There once was a gaggle of geese Huddled around a tree Were the fruit was just out of reach How could that be? That nature would put them in such close proximity Yet the geese still could not reach   I once had a mother named Jamie Who told me nature would provide- To always be good and kind, Nature would provide. She is gone now, and so are the geese. So I know that cannot be Nature will always keep her fruit just out of reach.

Taller than saint Peter A lover Stood on wooden stilts Varnished in tangential light I could have been blind, for you were not A seraph but a dream. But what of dreams, of tombs of consecrated fiction- A currency of lies Demarcated latin annuit coeptis. And yet I was abounded by sleep And who said there could not be More on Heaven and Earth Than in my philosophy Of you. And your blunted foundation Quivering at the knees

Semi-permiable membranes all permiating Quantum tunneling funneling loose leaves from my loose leaf tea I just want to be My brain is puntured When lies are uttered has becomes the has not Not being how i am defined Holes Ocuppying more space than space and time But i have an ace The reciprcal of zero My world becomes an infinite exponential
